Short Circuit Ratings & Reviews
- sutty_monster20 maart 2025A blast from the past. Enjoyable family movie with a enjoyable story and cast. Well worth a watch.
- Richard8 februari 2026I first saw Short Circuit in the cinema and that made all the difference. Seeing Johnny 5 on the big screen for the first time was pure magic. The film had that perfect 80's blend of sci‑fi, comedy and heart and watching it in a theater gave it a sense of wonder that stuck with me. Johnny 5 felt alive in a way that was rare for the time, full of personality, curiosity and charm. The mix of practical effects and puppetry made him feel real, especially when you’re sitting in a dark cinema with the sound and lights pulling you into his world. The movie had a lightness to it, but also a surprising emotional core. It wasn’t just about a robot escaping a lab, it was about identity, friendship and discovering what it means to be alive. Seeing it on the big screen made those moments hit even harder. It’s one of those films that instantly transports you back to that era: the music, the humor, the optimism and that unmistakable 80's movie magic.

- mickerdoo16 september 2025So campy but the comedy punches home. Actually surprised by the robot functionality. Even enjoyed the one liners and jumbled English jokes.
